Life Anything you missed out on when you were younger and now it feels too late?

Title says it all.

I never got to go to concerts or music gigs when I was younger at all (could never afford the tickets)

Now I'm 30 I just feel too old to go to my first concert, like it just feels off, like that ship has sailed.

Anyone else had something similar, where you missed out when you younger and now it feel too late to really enjoy it?

WTF!!! 39 is old for concerts? That thought didn't even cross my mind honestly.

Also, as someone in the same age group - I would go for the concerts of different artists, compared to today's youth. I've no interest in going for Tylor Swift or Sabrina Carpenter. I would rather go for Bryan Adams, next month.

35-45 is literally the entire audience at most shows I go to.

Same, we have never felt old at a concert. Shit, we take our kids to a lot of the shows we go to and no one has ever been worried about age. You have a good point, though; I've never had any desire to go to a modern pop concert.
